大学英语综合教程四Unit6答案

Unit 6Text comprehensionI. Decide which of the following best states the autho r’s purpose of writing.A.II. Judge. according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1. F. Refer to Paragraphs 1.It is true that the flag the narrator hangs draws little attention in Paris, but the reason is not that Parisians or Frenchmen are not interested in flag-hanging in general. Rather, the Independence Day is an occasion special for Americans only and, understandably, the French show little interest in the day or the celebrating flag.2. T. Refer to Paragraph 2.3. F. Refer to Paragraph 3. The author’s children have had little chance of learning the history of the U.S. at school, and the parents as native Americans are the only ones who could have taught them about it. This, however, is not true of children in general in France.4. F. Refer to Paragraph 4. They do not conceal the dark side of the American society but try to keep their children from the follies of the American society like school shootings.5. T. Refer to Paragraph 9-11.6. F. Refer to Paragraph 12. Globalization is both beneficial and detrimental. It helps to blur the clear-cut divide between cultures on the one hand but makes children less than fully immersed in a foreign world on the other.III. Answer the following questions.1. For one thing, flag-hanging is the only thing he can do in Paris to celebrate the Independence Day, which is part of his national heritage. For another, he intends to use it as a special occasion for teaching his children about the American history and as a reminder of their native American identity.2. The children seldom mix languages up because they have acquired French through the school instructions and English through their family life withEnglish-speaking parents. And they seem to know when to use which.3. Refer to paragraphs 4-8. The benefits of raising children in a foreign culture, as the writer suggests, include acquiring a foreign language and culture and avoiding being exposed to the problems of the native culture.4. It is difficult, according to the author, to make the children understand and identify the virtues of their native culture without living in it. Family instructions are not satisfactorily effective and have to be complemented by other means such asre-entering into the native culture and taking children to historical places.5. Because he grew up in a foreign culture and he knows it is quite an issue to know how to raise children in a foreign culture without losing their native identity. He understands that the issue involves the efforts on the part of the parents.6. Globalization is like a double-edged sword to the growth of children in a foreign culture. On the one hand, it helps to reduce differences between the foreign culture and the native culture, and facilitates the physical and spiritual re-entry into the native culture. On the other hand, it unfortunately makes it more difficult than ever for children to be fully immersed in the foreign culture.IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences taken form the text.1. July 4 is one of the times I, as a native American, feel instinctively uneasy about the great gaps in our children’s understanding of their American identity, and thus I am motivated to do something to fill the gaps.2. And living away from our native country does not matter much.3. When I lived in France as an expatriated child, the French kids were dressed in the unique French style, thus looking quite different from their counterparts in other countries.4. Full immersion in a truly foreign world no longer seems possible in Western countries, and I think this is a deplorable impact of globalization upon the growth of children in a foreign country.Structural analysis of the textThe author of this text follows a “specific-general” pattern in his discussion, i.e. he first talks about what it means to his children to hang the national flag of their native land in a foreign country on July 4th every year and then expresses his view on the importance for expatriated people in general to keep their cultural identity, especially when the whole world is undergoing a process of globalization. The specific points can be found in his discussion of the costs and benefits of raising children in a foreign culture in Paragraphs 4-9 while the general conclusion can be found in paragraphs10-12, especially paragraph 12.Vocabulary exercisesI. Replace the underlined words in the sentences with appropriate forms of words chosen from the text.1. pursue2. resonates3. confronted4. clichés5. had suppressed6. has confirmedII. Fill in the blank with the appropriate forms of the given words.1. fluency2. enrollment3. accessible4. obtainable5. personification6.enlightened7.globalization8. promptingIII .

Explain the meaning of the underlined word or phrase in each sentence.1. literature2. joined3. motionless4. more than5. quickly6. desiresGrammar exercisesI. Note the use of the words in italics.Where and when are relative adverbs, introducing relative clauses.II. Complete the following sentences, using where, when or why.1.why2. where3. when4. where5. where6.where7.why8. when III. Rewrite the following sentences, omitting either the antecedent or the relative adverb if possible.1.Sam knows where we are meeting.2./(The omission of the village may cause a loss of information since it carriesspecific message. If we omit where, then we need to insert in after born.)3.Four in the afternoon is the time he always reads./ Four in the afternoon is whenhe always reads.4./(Similar to Sentence 2)5.I don’t know the exact time I should meet him.6.Why he resigned is still unknown.IV. Rank the following sentences according to their degree of formality.More formal—less formal:2 3 1V. Make sentences of your own after the sentences given below, keeping the underlined parts in your sentences.1. He failed in part because of his carelessness.Why exactly she hated him I don’t know, but I think it was in part because he had insulted her.2.There were times when I didn’t know what to do.Can you suggest a time when it will be convenient to meet?3.The beaten enemy had not other choice than to surrender.It’s none other than the manager himself.Translation exercisesI.

Culture shock is the effect that involvement in a strange culture has on the unprepared visitor. Culture shock is what happens when a traveler suddenly finds himself in a place where yes may mean no, where a "fixed price" is negotiable, where to be kept waiting in an outer office is no cause for insult, where laughter may signify (意味) anger.The culture shock phenomenon causes a breakdown in communication, a misreading of reality, an inability to cope. Yet culture shock is relatively mild in comparison with the much more serious malady (弊病), future shock. Future shock is brought on by the premature arrival of the future. It may well be the most important disease of tomorrow.Take an individual out of his own culture and set him down suddenly in anenvironment sharply different from his own, with a different set of cues to react to—different conceptions (概念) of time, space, work, love, religion, sex, and everything else, then the dislocation he suffers will be severe. Given few clues as to what kind of behavior is rational under the radically new circumstances, the victim may well become a danger to himself and others. Now imagine not merely an individual but an entire society, an entire generation—including its weakest, least intelligent, and most irrational members—suddenly transported into this new world. The result is mass disorientation (迷失方向), future shock on a grand scale.This is the prospect that man now faces. Change is avalanching (把……淹没) upon our heads and most people are unprepared to cope with it.1.Culture shock occurs when ________.A. one loses all hopes of returning to his home environmentB. one expresses ideas and emotions contrary to what he intends toexpressC. one cannot make accurate judgment using one's own value standardsD. one cannot conduct negotiations for goods of fixed prices2.Future shock is much more serious than culture shock as ________.A. it concerns the problems of the futureB. it affects people on a grand scaleC. it causes personal insultsD. it destroys the foundation of the society3.The word "cue" in Para. 3 most probably refers to something that________.A. puzzles an individualB. disturbs an individual's normal way of lifeC. helps an individual to function in societyD. arouses an individual's interest in the new culture4.One effective way to prevent future shock is to ________.A. get people prepared for future changeB. keep people informed of foreign culturesC. have people resist possible future changeD. acquaint people with the harm of future change5.It can be inferred that the author's tone in the passage is ________.A. humorousB. exaggeratedC. radicalD. seriousQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Silence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In the interval he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and there are few things of which he stands in more fear than of the absence of noise. Even his conversation is in great measure a desperate attempt to prevent a dreadful (可怕的) silence. He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing (发出嗡嗡声) of a fly, but he longs to join the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure. The object of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas. It is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz: there is even a buzz that is as exasperating (使人恼怒的) as the continuous ping (砰声) of a mosquito. But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a mute (哑巴). Most buzzing, fortunately, is agreeable to the ear, and some of it is agreeable even to the mind. He would be a foolish man, however, who waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.Those who despise (看不起) the weather as a conversational opening seem to me to be ignorant of the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they have had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing at immense length, they are proud of themselves on their success as conversationalists.6.The significance of man's speaking ability is that ________.A. it proves his existence as a manB. it raises his position as a manC. it makes him enjoy meaningful conversationsD. it gets him out of trouble7.The statement that "ninety-nine percent of human conversation means nomore than the buzzing of a fly" suggests that ________.A. most of the human conversations are inspiring and instructiveB. most of the human conversations are as irritating as the noise made bya flyC. most of the human conversations can be dismissed as meaninglessD. most of the human conversations can be regarded as the effectiveactivities8.According to the passage, a man will look silly if he ________.A. makes mistakes in the conversationB. feels reluctant to join in the conversationC. fails to communicate anything new to others in the conversationD. misunderstands others' meanings in the conversation9.In the author's opinion, the introduction of weather as a conversationalopening indicates ________.A. the ignorance of the conversationalistB. the start of an acceptable conversationC. the coming of something newD. the boring nature of the conversation10. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?A. At a dinner party, everyone prefers to talk like a mosquito.B. People despise meaningless conversations.C. People take pride in their roles as conversationalists.D. One can always learn something useful from conversation.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Despite laws designed to keep cigarettes away from kids, 34 percent of US high school students and 15 percent of middle school students use tobacco products, government health officials say.Although the statistics show the number of teens using tobacco has started to decline from record highs in 1997, experts say the numbers are still disturbing given that nearly 90 percent of adult smokers began using tobacco at or before the age of 18."We want to emphasize, while cigarettes are the most lethal form of tobacco, adolescents (青少年) are using many forms of tobacco, and potentially becoming addicted (成瘾) to nicotine (尼古丁) from many sources," said Terry Pechacek, head of the survey team and associate director for science with the CDC Office on Smoking and Health.According to the survey, most middle and high school smokers get their tobacco at gas stations and convenience stores.While the legal age to buy tobacco is 18 throughout most of the United States, the survey shows current laws to be ineffective. Approximately 69 percent ofmiddle school students and 58 percent of high school students reported they were not asked for proof of age when purchasing cigarettes.Although the tobacco industry has altered its advertising, ads still lure teens into buying tobacco products, Pechacek said."Tobacco companies voluntarily stopped outdoor billboards (广告牌), but have taken these advertising dollars and put them into local convenience stores," he said.The study also found one of the "major predictors" of tobacco use to be whether teens spend time with other people who smoke. In the week before the survey, half of the nonsmokers were in a room with someone smoking, and approximately 70 percent of middle school students and 57 percent of high school students who smoke live in a home with a smoker.Experts believe that more education about tobacco in schools could counteract (对抗) the bad influences these students face at home.11. Figures provided in the second paragraph indicate that ________.A. most kids between the ages of 12 and 17 are using tobacco productsB. there are more teens using tobacco since 1997C. smokers tend to begin smoking when they were very youngD. laws are designed to keep cigarettes away from kids before the age of1812. According to Terry Pechacek, teenagers using tobacco ________.A. are likely to take drugsB. like using cigarettesC. tend to quit smoking after age of 18D. like trying different forms of tobacco13. Most teenage smokers buy tobacco at gas stations and conveniencestores, because ________.A. cigarettes there are cheaper than those at any other placeB. people there usually don't ask them to prove they have reached legalageC. there are more types of cigarettes there than other placesD. people there put up cigarettes advertisements on the wall14. The word "lure" (Para. 6) most probably means ________.A. temptB. persuadeC. forceD. talk15. According to what Pechacek said, which of the following factors may NOTinfluence teenagers' using tobacco products?A. Advertisement.B. Family.C. School education.D. Government.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable (可预见的) future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated (自动化的) highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.16. One significant improvement in the future car will probably be ________.A. its power sourceB. its monitoring systemC. its driving systemD. its seating capacity17. What is the author's main concern?A. How to render automobiles pollution-free.B. How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C. How to solve the problem of traffic jams.D. How to develop an automated subway system.18. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highwaysystem?A. A rail.B. A retractable arm.C. An engine.D. A computer controller.19. In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is _______.A. keep in the right laneB. wait to arrive at his destinationC. keep in constant touch with the computer centerD. inform the system of his destination by phone20. What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos?A. Enthusiastic.B. Optimistic.C. Pessimistic.D. Cautious.Part 2 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (每小题: 1 分; 满分：20 分)对错我的答案客观小题得分1. 1 C C2. 1 A A3. 1 C C4. 1 A A5. 1 D D6. 1 A A7. 1 C C8. 1 B B9. 0 D B10. 1 C C11. 1 C C12. 1 D D13. 1 B B14. 1 A A15. 1 D D16. 1 B B17. 1 C C18. 1 A A19. 1 D D20. 1 B BSubtotal: 19。

Choose the best answer to each question.Few ideas from social science have dug their way into the public imagination like Dunbar’s Number, the famous finding that we humans can’t cope with a social circle much larger than 150 people. The average size of modern hunter-gatherer communities, it’s been calculated, is 148.8. The average size of army companies through history, from the Romans to the USSR, hovers around 150. And the average number of people to whom Britons send Christmas cards, according to a 2003 study, is 153.5. No wonder so many panic-merchants worry that online social networks will destroy society. To accumulate 1,000 Facebook friends, Dunbar’s Number suggests, is to violate a law as old as humanity itself.In fact, the panic-merchants are wrong: Social networks don’t replace offline friendships. Nonetheless, Dunbar’s work does suggest something troubling about modern friendship. For centuries – and especially since the Industrial Revolution – we’ve been uprooting ourselves from the communities in which we were born. Until recently, on arriving in a new place, you’d inevitably lose your ties with the one you’d left; you’d be forced to invest fully in a new social circle. These days, however, thanks to email and Skype, you need never cut those ties. You never leave your old life behind, so your emotional investments are scattered.One consequence is that the people in your circle of 150 are far less likely to know each other. Or, as Dunbar writes, “Our social networks are no longer as densely interconnected as they once were.” Anyone who’s ever fled small-town life mightrespond: Thank God for that. After all, there won’t be people who are always snooping (窥探) on your business.Yet it turns out that when close friends know each other, good things happen. For example, Dunbar’s research shows that people are more altruistic (利他的) toward each other in dense social networks. Why are densely linked friends better friends? In a dense network, an act of friendship is two things at once: an expression of an individual bond, and another stitch in a bigger social fabric.Now you have a good reason to introduce your friends to each other. True, they’ll probably gossip about you at some point, but then that strengthens the social fabric, too.41、According to the passage, Dunbar’s Number is ____________.A. a method to calculate the average size of modern human communitiesB. a public opinion on the potential influence of online social networksC. a theory that states the limit of the size of one’s social circleD. a scientific concept that once influenced human society in history42、The word “panic-merchants” (Para. 1) refers to people ____________.A. who have an intense fear of meeting others through online social networksB. who worry about the big size of social circles created by online networkingC. who are afraid of the lack of privacy on social networking websitesD. who disbelieve the power of densely connected social networks43、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Social networks are more scattered today than before the Industrial Revolution.B. Social networks are smaller today because people spend more time online.C. Social networks become denser today due to the extensive use of the Internet.D. Social networks bear stronger emotional bonds today than centuries ago.44、According to the author, one bad thing about a dense social network is that ____________.A. one’s business is hard to developB. one’s privacy can be easily invadedC. one has few chances to meet new friendsD. one has to cut ties with friends in distant places45、What is the author’s overall attitude toward dense social networks?A. Indifferent.B. Unclear.C. Negative.D. Positive.The term “off the grid” refers to living in a self-sufficient manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. On 13 April 2006, USA Today reported that there were some 180,000 families living off-grid in America, a figure that has jumped 33 percent a year for a decade. Because many third-world citizens have never had the chance to go on the grid, current estimates are that 1.7 billion people live off-grid worldwide.Off-the-grid homes do not rely on municipal water supply, natural gas, electrical power grid or similar utility services. A true “off the grid” house is able to operate independently of all traditional public services. Electrical power can be generated on-site with renewable sources such as solar, wind or geothermal (地热的) energy; with a generator and adequate fuel reserves; or simply done without. Such electricity system is called a stand-alone power system. On-site water sources can include a well, stream, or lake. Depending on the water source, this may include pumps and / or filtration. Rainwater can also be harvested.In his book How to Live Off-grid, Nick Rosen lists seven reasons for going off-grid. The top two are saving money, and reducing the carbon footprint. Another is survivalism, which means preparing for emergencies such as disruptions in social or political order. Others include preparing for the collapse of the oil economy and bringing life back to the countryside.Going off-grid can be done to lower the environmental impact of living, as the typically limited amount of on-site renewable energy available is an incentive to reduce its use. But if energy usage is not reduced, going off-grid actually has a larger environmental impact against using the grid, due to the lower efficiencies of the components. It is often done to residential buildings only occasionally occupied, such as vacation cabins, to avoid high initial costs of traditional utility connections. Other persons choose to live in houses where the cost of outside utilities is prohibitive, or of such a distance away as to be impractical.46、What does the passage say about people living in third-world countries?A. About 1.7 billion of them are currently living off-grid.B. Many of them have no access to modern public utilities.C. Their homes are getting more dependent on public utilities.D. The number of them living off-grid is increasing by 33 percent a year.47、A house that is truly off the grid is able to operate ____________.A. without using any on-site renewable energyB. without using any water filtration equipmentC. without relying on traditional public utilitiesD. without relying on independent power supply48、Which of the following is NOT a reason for going off-grid given by Nick Rosen?A. Expanding public services.B. Reviving the countryside.C. Reducing carbon emission.D. Preparing for political instability.49、According to the passage, what may be a negative effect of living off-grid?A. It may discourage people from paying for traditional utility connections.B. It may limit the amount of on-site renewable energy available for the house.C. It may increase the cost of residential buildings only occasionally occupied.D. It may do harm to the environment due to lower efficiencies of energy usage.50、What is the author’s attitude toward “off the grid” life?A. Positive.B. Neutral.C. Negative.D. Indifferent.This is what I have noticed in sports club: In every class at my club, every single attendee is female. They are old, they are young; some are fit, and some are not. But, save for one of the instructors, they are all women. Conversely, just about every man in the club (including me) works out by himself, usually on the machines or free weights.This is not something accidental. As it relates to the sexes, there must be some insights into human behavior. But what? Could it be that women feel more comfortable in groups than men? If so, why? And in what way do men feel more comfortable? Why do we prefer exercising alone?Digging deeper, I wonder if these distinctive behaviors are markers for both genders. Men have always identified with the lone wolf. Look at the heroes in the movies. We have the Marlboro Man, even the Terminator. Men find something timeless and appealing to the lonely heroes, always. Clint Eastwood and Rambo acted alone. The darker the persona (角色) the more men relate. They become heroes when they save others and solve serious problems – all by themselves. Necessarily, then, this would have women identifying with groups, like The Real Housewives of …However, men also play on teams. We can relate to a band of brothers and fight on battlefields together. So, why is it that women almost universally work out in groups and men don’t?I believe it has more to do with each gender’s willingness to ask for help. In other words, the same psychology that makes so many men reluctant to ask for directions is also what keeps them out of those gym classes. Ironically, it is a defect of character, but the role of problem solver is too deep-rooted in their masculinity for them to behave otherwise. Subconsciously considering themselves capable of solving problems individually, men would regard it feminine to ask for help from others, especially at the gym, where their physical manhood is on display. In general, women don’t have this problem. They take comfort in unity or are at least motivated by that unity.51、The author notices in the sports club that ___________.A. women like to go to the sports club, no matter how old they areB. in sports classes men are instructors while women are attendeesC. women like sports classes, while men prefer working aloneD. both sexes like working in groups though with different activities52、The author mentions some roles in movies for the purpose of ___________.A. proving that men identify with darker personaB. arguing that men dislike working out aloneC. illustrating famous actors’ performance skillsD. showing that men admire independent heroes53、What does the word “universally” (Para. 4) probably mean in the passage?A. Necessarily.B. Everywhere.C. Consciously.D. Never.54、According to the author, why are men reluctant to work in groups in sports club?A. Because they want to show their physical manhood.B. Because they like to seek for unity and help elsewhere.C. Because they prefer dealing with various machines.D. Because they are reluctant to communicate with others.55、What is the author’s main point in the passage?A. Working in a team is always a good chance to show physical strength.B. Women are considered the weaker gender as they always need others’ help.C. Men like to work alone because independence facilitates problem solving.D. The pursuit of masculinity accounts for some distinctive behaviors of men.The road signs have been changed – no longer “Men at Work” but “People Working.” Forty-four percent of all employed Americans are women, and the percentage continues to rise. Are the gains being made by women in the workplace coming at the expense of men?The answer is clear. Unless total employment in the nation expands more rapidly than it has, men are going to continue to lose out in the job race to women. But the process by which the change is taking place is complex, and the explanation goes beyond the political and legal pressures that are part of “women’s pursuit for equal rights.”There have been changes in the character of work that have motivated hiring of women. In the insurance industry, for example, the positions of adjusters (理算师) and examiners were once largely held by men, who went out and inspected cases reported. Today, the work consists mainly of sitting at a computer terminal, entering insurance claims. Women now hold 65 percent of these jobs, up from 27 percent in 1970. That happened in the meat-packing industry, too, where automatic machines for moving sides of beef have eased the need for so much lifting. Since 1970, the proportion of packing house butchers who are women has increased by more than one-third.The proportion of women among graduate students has also been increasing dramatically, providing stiff competition for young men who, a generation earlier, might have been all but certain of executive or professional careers.Of course, discrimination against women continues. Yet the trend toward the displacement of male workers goes on. According to the United States Labor Department, two-thirds of the growth in the labor force between now and 2015 will be accounted for by women.In a nation that prides itself on a commitment to equality of opportunity, women’s progress in the workplace can only be seen as inevitable and fair. That should not, however, blind us to the major impact this change will have, not only in terms of jobs but in terms of the society as a whole, unsettling the balance of relationships in the family and raising new problems concerning male self-esteem.56、It is suggested in the passage that ___________.A. the total employment in the US is expanding more rapidly than it hasB. men may lose their advantages in the US job market in the futureC. women are becoming more conscious of their rights in the workplaceD. political pressures may force women to lose many job opportunities57、What does the example of the meat-packing industry show?A. Insurance claims have been mainly processed on the computer since the 1970s.B. Women have great talent for using automatic machines to handle heavy lifting.C. Changes in the nature of work have triggered companies to employ more women.D. American meat-packing industry prefers to hire men to do the job of meat cutting.58、What may happen as a result of the increasing proportion of female graduate students?A. Growth in the US labor force may turn slower than in previous years.B. Discrimination against women in the workplace may be hard to change.C. Competition for employment between women may become more intense.D. The number of women taking up executive or professional jobs may increase.59、Which of the following does the author most likely agree?A. People should applaud the trend toward higher proportions of female workers.B. Equality of opportunity is impossible to realize without men’s commitment.C. The public is blind to the impacts of the changes in the American labor force.D. Displacement of male workers can be prevented if more work is done on computer.60、What is the author probably going to discuss next?A. Importance of balanced relationships in the family.B. Negative effects of women’s progress in employment.C. Legal measures to ensure equality of opportunity.D. Good ways to maintain male self-esteem in the workplace.。

大学英语第四册课后答案 unit6 附clozeA clozeB原文+答案

大学英语第四册unit6 clozeA clozeB完整答案(自己一个晚上敲出来的) 6A Can you switch off from the cares of life and relax? Many people today cannot. They feel instead that they are obliged to be on the go all the time. The pace of life seems to grow ever faster. As a result, feelings of stress are common as people struggle to cope with what they see as a shortage of time. Such widespread feelings are in part caused by the large quantity of information that comes pouring in on us. No longer is it possible, as it was in the past, for a handful of people to master the whole range of human knowledge. Instead, any individual can only command a fraction of the total knowledge available. It may be argued that it is futile to even attempt to do so.6B There's no such thing as time management. All you have isself-management and that is the key to making time your friend rather than your enemy.There are only24 hours in your day, just the same as everybody else’s. So how do you end up time-starved, frustrated, and behind in your work? Maybe it is because you don’t know how to use those 24 hours to your advantage.If using your time wisely is a problem for you, you probably don’t have a very good idea of where it all goes. It just seems to go! A good place to start, then, is to faithfully keep track of how you use your waking hours for a week. The results will probably surprise you.The next step is to do some planning. You’ll discover, among other things, that if you get 7 hours’ sleep a night, you have 119 hours per week to do everything you need to do. That, of course, includes going to class, eating, athletic events, social activities, personal hygiene, telephone and TV time, etc. Be sure to schedule time for all these in your 119 hours. Then try sticking to your schedule for a week. This should give you a good idea of where your real priorities are!Learn to say NO once your priorities are set. Turning down an invitation doesn’t mean you’l l never be asked to do something again. Making a decision based on what you know is best for you at the time actually leads to great respect from your friends.Suggestions such as these will lead to a greater sense of freedom and accomplishment because you are under control. That is what self-managementis-managing your life more effectively.。

They’re not like dogs. They’re not like cats. They’re wonderful. They ain’t easy.Perri Peltz: I don’t want to put your job down, but what’s the big deal, Layne? They sound like really easy animals to have. They don’t bark, you don’t have to take them out for a walk. I mean, what’s the big deal? Y ou throw a little bit of seed at them.Layne Dicker: They don’t bark, but they scream. They don’t really need to be taken out for a walk, but they need full spectrum light for at least four hours a day. You don’t throw them a handful of seed. They need fresh vegetables every day. Fresh water every time it gets soiled.Perri Peltz: Why is owning a parrot so different than having a pet dog or cat? You see, dogs and cats have been bred for thousands of years to be companion animals. Most parrots have been bred for less than 100 years, so that means parrots bring their own natural instincts into your home. Parrots in the wild live in flocks, so your pet parrot considers you his flock member. He expects to eat with you and interact with you most of the day. When you don’t give him the attention he expects, he may start demanding it by acting out or screaming. Birds can also be destructive. Parrots, especially macaws, will chew anything in their path. What about biting? Parrots don’t bite each other in the wild, but as pets, parrots can bite when they feel threatened, or when they don’t want your fingers in their cage. Or even when they want your undivided attention.Lise Mee: Ah, ah, ah. No, let go. Let go.Perri Peltz: With all the behavior problems, why not just punish a bird?Layne Dicker: If I can tell any parrot owner something about their parrot, it would be make them feel safe and secure. I hear about hitting, squirting with water, screaming at. Anything that makes a parrot feel insecure will break down the level of trust he has with you. And unless a parrot trusts you, all the negative behaviors are just going to get worse. You have to do everything with a parrot in a loving, supportive way. Yes, you’re so good. Yes.Part 2A. According to bird breeder and pet store owner Ruth Hanessian, which facts dopotential pet owners need to know about parrots?They will make noise, they may say things you don’t want them to say, they may behave like very young children.B. Answer the questions about the conure (a type of parrot) at the ParrotEducation and Adoption Center.1. She was kept in a covered cage in a dark room for six years.2. Because she made noise.3. She began pulling out her own feathers.VIDEO SCRIPTPerri Peltz: For the past twenty years, Ruth Hanessian has been a bird breeder and pet store owner in Rockville, Maryland. She’s now written a book called Birds on the Couch: The Bird Shrink’s(精神分析学家) Guide to Keeping Polly from Going Crackers and You Out of the Cuckoo’s Nest)(防止你的鹦鹉和你本人发疯的鸟类精神分析学家手册). If you could put a little red warning label on each parrot cage, what would it say?Ruth Hanessian: I am a bird. I have my own thoughts. I have my own way of expressing myself. I’m verbal. I will make noise. I will see what’s going on in your household and have an opinion about it.1st pet bird: Tarzan. Stop it. You behave yourself.Ruth Hanessian: I will be in charge of your life if you let me be.Perri Peltz: You write, “Will you freak out(烦得要命，吓得要死) if Polly screams during dinner parties? What if she learns to mimic your lovemaking cries and repeats them when your mother-in-law comes for a visit?” Can’t be.Ruth Hanessian: Oh, can be. If you decide to get a bird, you have to watch what you say around it, because they will pick up the things that you really don’t want them to say.1st pet bird: Oh, stop!Perri Peltz: Now, Ruth, you’re pushing it on the next one. Birds can be co-dependents? What are we talking about here?Ruth Hanessian: They get very involved with you, and they get very upset when you’re not there. It’s like having a two-year-old child for the rest of your life.Perri Pletz: And by the way, the rest of their lives can be a very long time. If taken care of properly, the bigger birds can live up to 100 years. And that’s just fine with Connie Pavlinac. She and her husband, Gary, are the proud parents of three birds. And Connie makes sure all of her birds’ needs are taken care of. First, their meals. Connie spends at least an hour and a half each day chopping fruits and vegetables for the older birds. Then mixing formula（配方）for the baby, making sure it’s not too hot, and hand-feeding him. Then another hour and a half sweeping floors and scrubbing and cleaning cages. And twice a week, there are the showers, followed by a fluff dry. And they have emotional needs.5th pet bird: Hi.Connie Pavlinac: Hi. They need to be talked to. They need to be held. They need to be stimulated, so if we talk to them, we entertain them with toys.Perri Peltz: Bonnie Kenk runs Parrot Education and Adoption Center in San Diego. In the last two years, she has taken in more than 100 unwanted birds, including this conure, whose owner couldn’t tolerate her constant screaming and kept her in a covered cage in a dark room for six years. You see, birds become quiet in the dark. With nothing to do and nothing to see, little Audrey turned on herself and started plucking out her own feathers. Bonnie Kenk: It’s really very, very sad that people just don’t… they don’t understand what they’re getting into when they get…when they get a bird. Conures are relatively noisy birds.Perri Peltz:How often, Bonnie, do you see a problem result because of an impulse purchase?Bonnie Kenk: Daily. That’s how we end up with most of our birds.Layne Dicker: Parrots are the worst impulse purchase in the world, and they’re so frequently purchased on impulse because they’re so beautiful and they’re so endearing in pet stores. You need to do your homework before buying a parrot. They are very, very, very smart.6th pet bird: Hello.Layne Dicker: They have very, very long memories.1st pet bird: OK, thank you, bye-bye.Layne Dicker: They’re amazing animals. Good night.7th pet bird: Good night.Layne Dicker: Good night, birds.7th pet bird: Good night.Layne Dicker: Good night.ListeningTalk About Animals in ZoosPart 1A.

Had she heard the news, she ___________________________(应当会含笑九泉了).Part IV In this part there is a passage with ten incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then complete the statements in the fewest possiblewords (Not exceeding 10 words)Worried about prescription drugs? How to weigh your risk?When the pain reliever Vioxx was withdrawn from the worldwide market last September after the announcement that it increased patients’risk of heart attacks and strokes, millions panicked. Suddenly, ads for the drug were replaced with ads looking for Vioxx “victims”. Not only did patients stop taking Vioxx but, doctors say, many people stopped taking their medicines, too—sometimes putting their health at serious risk. The sometimes-sensationalized headlines didn’t help. People wondered. Should I trust my doctors? Could what I thought would help me actually kill me? Is the drug safety system broken?Americans have somehow come to believe they should get the best medical care with the latest remedies with no side effects. But there is no drug that doesn’t have side effects. Peter Corr, head of worldwide research and development for drug manufacturer Pfizer says, “As a society we expect medicine to be perfect. There is no such thing. There is always a risk.”How You Can Make Informed DecisionsSince there is no such thing as a pill that is completely safe, including aspirin, consumers have to accept the dichotomy(一分为二) that the same medicines that extend and enhance our lives may hurt us; some of them may merely have minor side effects, while others are able to cause death. So how should you and your doctor proceed?1. Weigh the risks and benefits of any drugAs a smart consumer you must decide whether a drug is “safe enough” for you. The greater the benefit, the more risk you may be willing to take. If your illness is mild and not very bothersome, you may decide that any risk is too big and opt against taking any medications at all. On the contrary, if your illness is serious or potentially life threatening, you may even be willing to try an experimental drug with greater risk for serious side effects.Zena McAdams, 59, a regional clergyman in Macon, Georgia, has lived with a condition that causes chronic pain for many years. For a long time she took OTC ibuprofen(布洛芬，一种镇痛非处方药), “I mean lots of it,” she says. In the spring of 2001, her doctor prescribed Vioxx. Taken only once a day, it was “remarkable,”she says. “I took it every day till it was taken off the market.”After speaking to her doctor, she switched to Celebrex last October. It was also effective in controlling the aches and pains associated with her condition—until she heard concerns that it, too, had serious potential side effects. She talked to her doctor, weighed the risks versus the benefits and decided that her quality of life was most important. “There is always that nasty feeling about safety, ” she says, “but there is no reason to think that I have any heart problems. The benefits ant this point in my life certainly outweigh the risks. The drug works. It eases pain.”2. Be especially cautious about new drugsNew drugs are inherently risky. So if you’re taking one, monitor yourself carefully. Have your eating and digestive habits changed? Are you feeling unusually tired or agitated? Have your breathing patterns or skin color changed? If so, call your doctor immediately, who may tell you to stop taking the drug. How does a consumer know that a drug is new? Ask your doctor or pharmacist(药剂师)。
